Anjê Ženzallasa - a Conlang by Jecoder2024

Hello there! This is Anjê Ženzallasa, a Conlang (constructed language) created by me, Jecoder2024.
I have worked on it since… idk, July 2026? And decided to share it now! ^-^

First, phonology:

(uppercase - lowercase - (when is a long vowel) - IPA transcription - (pronounciation guide))
A - a - aa - a
Å - å - ā - ɑ (a, but at the back)
B - b - b
B̈ - b̈ - ʙ (b, but “trilled”)
C - c - tʃ
Č - č - ǀ (dental click, check out its Wikipedia page for more information)
D - d - d
Ḑ - ḑ - ɖ (Javanese /dh/, apparently)
Ď - ď - ɟ (d, but at your mouth's ceiling)
Ɖ - ð - ð (THe)
E - e - ee - e
Ê - ê - ē - ə (e, but at the “center”)
Ĕ - ĕ - ē̄ - ɯ (pronounciation varies between ɯ-ɨ-ɤ-ɘ; Sundanese /eu/)
F - f - f
F̅ - f̅ - ɸ (f, but with both lips)
G - g - g
Γ - ɣ - ɣ (Scottish English loCH, but voiced; Arabic غ)
H - h - h
I - i - ii - i
J - j - dʒ
K - k - k
L - l - l
L̃ - l̃ - ɬ (l, but “blown”; Welsh /ll/)
L̵ - l̵ - ɮ (“blown” l, but you voice it as well)
M - m - m
N - n - n
Ng - ng - ŋ (the only digraph in the entire alphabet)
Ñ - ñ - ɲ (Spanish /ñ/)
O - o - oo - o
Ø - ø - øø - ø (lips say o, tongue say e)
P - p - p
Q - q - ! (alveolar click; check out its Wikipedia page for more information)
R - r - ɹ (r, but you don't “trill” it)
S - s - s
Š - š - ʃ (English engliSH)
T - t - t
Ţ - ţ - ʈ (Javanese /th/, apparently)
Ť - ť - c (t, but at your mouth's ceiling)
Ϸ - þ - θ (THorn)
U - u - uu - u
Ü - ü - ū - y (tongue say i, lips say u)
Λ - ʌ - ʌʌ - ʌ (English gUt)
V - v - v
V̅ - v̅ - β (v, but with both lips)
W - w - w
X - x - x (Scottish English loCH)
X̌ - x̌ - ʍ (as above, but with the lips “rounded”)
Y - y - j
Z - z - z
Ž - ž - ʒ (English engliSH, but voiced)

Secondly, grammar:

Articles (the) - Adjectives (blue) - Subject (cat) - Verb (ate) - Object (plants) - Possessive Pronouns (my)

Al talu têllu sovêrra ʌplenana syančaka!
The blue cat ate my plants!

Thirdly, Pronouns:

Person | Object
1st Čaka –
2nd Siña Nekå
3rd Neka L̵inga

You can invent your own words, but remember: They will be rejected if 1. Another word of the same meaning already exists, or 2. Another word of the same spelling exists, or 3. I do not want that word.

That's it for now, feel free to ask anything! ^-^

very cool, though you might want to consider creating a standardized alveolar-dental or voice-voiceless-aspirated notation for Anjê. having two or more varied symbols for two basically identical syllables seems like something you/most people wouldn't really want. sorry for being pedantic or a nitpicker :|

Anjê does not differentiate between aspirated/unaspirated consonants.

Also, did you meant the affricate J is the same as the digraph Dž?

no. i meant more like the dental and alveolar clicks and the “t” plosives taking 2 symbols when they could just take one with a unique diacritic each, like the anje version of the english digraphs, with their diacritics. it might help prospective new learners adapt to the language by having a standard consonant guide, and it'll free up those typing on keyboards to fit more symbols.

Oh, so you meant that it would be more simple for č and q to be more like “variants” of each other?

also, both T plosives (excluding þ becuase that's not a plosive) are actually the same letter, just the other uses a diacritic ><

Well that's not exactly why I added a bilabial trill, but…

For some reason, I recently added retroflex consonants ^-^

The point is most people (like me lol) can't/don't know how to pronounce /ʙ/

Well…

Before I changed it to B̈, the bilabial trill is written Br. So, for people that cannot pronounce that (like you?), they might want to pronounce it as /br/ (voiced bilabial plosive followed by an alveolar trill) instead.
